Even if he didn’t make a move, with Gu Jiulian and Lu Xiao’s snobbish attitude, they probably wouldn’t let her off easily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what if Xia Guagua had another plan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shuangshuang, we still mustn’t take this lightly!\" Lu Yuanfeng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the Old Lu Family, Xia Guagua appeared travel-worn and had brought back quite a few things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In no time at all, the news had spread throughout Er Gui Village!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was more pleased than Gu Jiulian; Xia Guagua was her biological daughter, and since she benefited, as her mother, she had her own share of credit, even if it was tough work!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiulian spread the word everywhere that Xia Guagua was taking her to town to enjoy a good life, making all the women in the village look at Gu Jiulian with both jealousy and envy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several groups of people came to inquire about the news, and Gu Jiulian did not shy away from letting them into the Old Lu Family’s courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time, the commotion at the Old Lu Family was even higher than when Mu Dade first returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under enormous pressure, Xia Guagua chatted and laughed with everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few women who loved to watch the excitement fawned over Xia Guagua, seeing her dressed in fine clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I remember when Sister Jiulian married into our Lu Family Village, she brought Gua Gua along. I always thought she had good fortune, and now she has her own restaurant, just as I said back then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua pursed her lips and smiled, \"Aunty, what are you saying? I’m not as capable as Mu Shuangshuang from the Old Mu Family, she also has a restaurant!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh please, her lousy restaurant can’t compare to yours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman speaking had been to town and during the peak days of Xia Guagua’s restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Xia Guagua’s restaurant was bustling, while Mu Shuangshuang’s was deserted, with not many people!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly, we’ve all heard that Gua Gua’s restaurant is large in scale!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another woman chimed in agreeably!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that Xia Guagua’s restaurant had closed was news of today, unknown to the villagers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they wouldn’t be singing her praises in such a manner!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua graciously accepted the compliments from everyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, Gua Gua, tell us how you made your fortune, and what about Old Wang Family, are you really okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua bore the weight of a man’s life on her shoulders!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Wang Fugui wasn’t dead, his current state was no different from being dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t Uncle Wang go to the government? Didn’t the government say it had nothing to do with me? Since it’s unrelated, I can return to the village!\" Xia Guagua explained in detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman who heard Xia Guagua’s answer naturally didn’t believe it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the village knew that Wang Fugui was beaten by Xia Guagua, yet here she was, denying it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you make your fortune then, did you meet some big man?\" someone else inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually, there was no big man. When I left initially, I just took a few buns, and later, I worked as a waiter in a restaurant. The restaurant owner saw my diligence and began to rely on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I earned a lot of money for her, and after mentioning the matter of returning home, before I left, she gave me some compensation, asking me to handle things back home before coming back to help her with ideas!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua casually fabricated a few reasons; she didn’t want the villagers to think that she rose to prominence because of someone else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to give everyone the impression that her success today came solely from her own efforts, relying on no one else!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, no one believed what Xia Guagua said, but even if they didn’t believe, they had no choice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they had no money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, Gua Gua, are you really going to take your mother to live in town?\" a woman asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua smiled with a knowing look, not saying anything, naturally making everyone believe it was true!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They talked back and forth about all sorts of interesting things happening in the village, and before they realized, it was dark!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women agreed to come back to the Old Lu Family early the next morning to chat with Xia Guagua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua agreed with a smile, but once those women left, she turned to Gu Jiulian in a foul mood and said: \"Don’t let those people into our house tomorrow; they’re all dirt-poor, it’s unlucky to see!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gua Gua, that’s not the way to talk. When you have power and influence, you still need people to boost your reputation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can make all the money, but if no one is behind you praising your prowess, what sense of accomplishment do you have?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiulian disagreed with Xia Guagua’s view; she not only wanted the village women to keep coming, but wanted to invite even more village women!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, everyone in the village would envy her; Gu Jiulian was going to live the good life!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Guagua rolled her eyes at Gu Jiulian, \"If you want to brag, that’s your business, don’t drag me into it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gua Gua, what are you talking about? If I have face, doesn’t that mean you have face too? Besides, your mom has suffered for half her life, finally getting to hold her head high, why keep such a low profile!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Jiulian was entirely focused on basking in the glory, not wanting to hear anything else anyone said!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spare me your lectures, if you hadn’t been greedy for wealth, I wouldn’t have had that incident with Wang Fugui, wouldn’t have been gossiped about as a murderer?\" Xia Guagua was in a foul mood!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her long-planned restaurant had become an empty shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did she fail to bring down Mu Shuangshuang, but she also stirred up quite a bit of trouble for herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time she returned, merely wanting to see what means the village had to deal with Mu Shuangshuang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who could have known her mother was like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hasn’t it been resolved already?\" Gu Jiulian dismissed the concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Wang Fugui’s father filed a report long ago, and the government said they wouldn’t pursue it, so you have nothing to worry about!\" Gu Jiulian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was fine until that was mentioned; once it was, Xia Guagua got angry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now you say it, but why didn’t you mention it before? When that ugly woman was questioning me, why didn’t you bring it up?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You like to gossip with those ugly women all the time, why not talk about this big issue? Now I have to explain it myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Few people in the village knew about Wang Fugui’s father going to the government and being refused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many thought Wang Fugui’s father never went to report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t know that even Wang Fugui’s father couldn’t settle it with money!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I just forgot!\" Gu Jiulian said guiltily, then continued: \"At most, tomorrow I’ll spread the word around the village for you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1326,"2026-06-10T06:02:09.521Z",1,"novelbin.me","40233b21ad60088977a951baa2d573da6e9704767d71818951ec25d350849fae","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-1255","from-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-chapter-1253",1282,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-folly-to-fortune-i-rewrite-my-life-after-re-cover.jpg"]
